Applehurst Spring Classes, including

Cracked Pot Succulent Garden

Everyone loves those cracked pots tumbling with hardy succulents that they see on the patio at Applehurst. Come to class and make one of your own! You’ll receive soil, decorative gravel, and two plants, plus all the assistance you need to build your pot. Yes, you may bring your own pots if you would like and we’ll be happy to help you figure out how to arrange and plant them. You may purchase broken terra cotta at $1.50/lb and any extra plants you want to design your pot as large or small as you want.
